no, two spoonfuls would be spicier

>>15181922
He's not wrong.

you can buy pure capsaicin and a lot of spice stores sell it as a 'challenge' thing, like pure capsaicin 16-20+ million scoville and shit like that and it's never spicy
i don't get it. maybe somebody smarter knows why

>>15181922
kek'd and chek'd

>>15181993
>16-20+ million scoville

>>15181911
There's some chemical analogs of it that are a million times spicier, so no.

ibs cuck

>>15182358
Modify the chemical analog so that it covalently binds the receptor.

You would probably want to cut your tongue out at that point.

>>15182665
That's basically just nerve poison.
>inb4 that's what capsaicin is

>>15182682
more like an acid, just burns the myucus membranes, the same flesh as the one around your supple butthole

Resiniferatoxin. 16 billion scovilles. So potent it can actually kill you. Can ACTUALLY cause chemical burns, whereas capsaicin just makes you feel like it.

>>15182744
I bet there's some reddit neckbeard who can eat it

>>15181993
I heard it's 'cause it doesn't dissolve in your spit. You need to mix it with vodka.

>>15182358
How about enlightening us with what some of these might be? I have a busy life, I cant be searching for analogs all day.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resiniferatoxin

Resiniferatoxin has a score of 16 billion Scoville heat units, making pure resiniferatoxin about 500 to 1000 times hotter than pure capsaicin.[3][4] Resiniferatoxin activates transient vanilloid receptor 1 (TRPV1) in a subpopulation of primary afferent sensory neurons involved in nociception, the transmission of physiological pain.[5][6] TRPV1 is an ion channel in the plasma membrane of sensory neurons and stimulation by resiniferatoxin causes this ion channel to become permeable to cations, especially calcium. The influx of cations causes the neuron to depolarize, transmitting signals similar to those that would be transmitted if the innervated tissue were being burned or damaged. This stimulation is followed by desensitization and analgesia, in part because the nerve endings die from calcium overload.

It needs oil. It's soluble in oil. Gotta make death butter.

>>15181911
We used to put it on children's toys at my work.

I feel like i could 100% understand this if i actually sit and analyze it for 10 minutes

this shit seems absurd given how little of the structure is conserved, but then again, demerol doesn't really look like morphine or most of the opiate alkaloids.

Scoville units are a subjective measure

Wholly different molecules are measured under it

The piquancy of a dish isn't entirely determined by capsaicin but all the constituents together

>>15183973
why the fuck would anyone spoonfeed a retard who can't even read the thread properly

>>15183005
>>15184009
This makes sense. Need to dilute it ever so slightly in alcohol, fat, or vinegar.

>>15181922
Can’t argue with that science

>>15184884
maybe instead of sitting just lookup the meanings of the words you don't understand
voilà
